I have been having this periodic problem with Norton Antivirus 2005 when I start the computer or loaded a word document windows would appear like a program was trying to load. I thought it was spyware or something. Turns out it is a bug in Norton Antivirus 2005 and here is what I found.
I was getting the message in a popup dialog box that said. “Norton Antivirus 2005 does not support repair feature reinstall Norton” , so I do that and the problem goes away.
Then a couple of days later it pops up again. I go to the Symantec support site and here is the solution to the issue and I am red in the face.
This message can happen if you have changed the default location for the Norton AntiVirus shortcuts in the Windows Start Menu. The default locations of the shortcuts are:
In Norton AntiVirus installed as part of Norton SystemWorks:
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Norton SystemWorks\Norton AntiVirus
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Norton SystemWorks Premier\Norton AntiVirus
Here is what that all means you are forced to have it on the main Program line. What a bunch of idiots. I like my program bar nice and organized no sole program gets to be on the main program line everything is in neat categories..
It has been a while since I tried a Mcafee product where is my credit card anyway.
